But first, if you haven't already, you may want to test your knowledge about one-time pads, PKI, and block ciphers on Quiz #20: Cryptography, which is still on our home page. Here it is: http://searchsecurity.techtarget.com/sDefinition/0,,sid14_gci799128,00.html One day as we strummed through our pages, we suddenly saw a lot of animals staring out at us. And the next thing you know we had written a new quiz about our new-found menagerie, which we called: Quiz #21: We're Going to the Zoo! http://whatis.techtarget.com/definition/0,,sid9_gci796012,00.html Please let us know how you did. We would truly like to know. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Horses February 12, 2002 begins the Year of the Horse on the Chinese calendar. Unfortunately, that might not be good news for those of us who depend on computers to do our work, especially since security experts have already predicted that Trojan horse viruses will plague us during 2002. And so we ask - have you ever been hit by a Trojan horse virus? (After telling us, you can find out how many others have been hit, too.) http://www.whatis.com/poll =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= 98 experts to answer your questions (really) We were surprised ourselves to learn that there are now 98 experts who voluntarily answer questions on our 19 TechTarget sites. So we made a "little" list and put them all on one Web page that tells you their names, their expertise, and where to leave a question for them. This could come in very handy, we think, but you may want to take a look yourself. http://whatis.techtarget.com/content/0,290959,sid9_gci800556,00.html ___________________________________________________________________ :::::::::: NEWS FROM OUR TECHTARGET COMMUNITY OF SITES ::::::::: =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Site-of-the-Week: search390.com This is the Web site that over 65,000 registered mainframers depend on for technical advice.

Perhaps it was the challenge of having to figure out what to leave out in describing a company that goes back to the days of time cards and punch clocks. Here's what we ended up with... http://searchebusiness.techtarget.com/sDefinition/0,,sid19_gci801387,00.html _________________________________________________________________ :::::::::::::: THANK YOU FROM WHATIS.COM ::::::::::::::::::::: Please forward this email to colleagues who can also benefit from this targeted information.
